Everybody in the country wants to continue as our Prime Minister, said Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath while addressing an election rally here on Wednesday.
"Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat should be the ideal dream and Prime Minister led government will help realise this dream," he said.
Highlighting the importance Chandauli for the state, Adityanath said: "Chandauli in reality is a very important place with a spiritual heritage besides being in the lap of the holy river of Ganga."
"It is also the food bowl of the state. Chandauli is also the workplace of late Jan Sangh thinker Deendayal Upadhyaya. Sufficient minimum support price (MSP) has been ensured by the Central government," he said.
"In the first year of our government, we bought 37 lakh metric tonnes of wheat. In the second year, we bought 52 lakh metric tonne while in the coming year we plan to buy 55 lakh metric tonnes of wheat at Rs 1,860 per quintal," he said.
Talking about the hard work done by local MP Mahendra Nath Pandey, Yogi said: "From Central schools, roads, hospitals, to domestic gas connections for the poor, a lot has been done for the people of Chandauli."
